The gunk chapter 5 upgrade#
Scanning and suckingīasic scanning and sucking is all you really need to make your way around the first few areas of the game, but after discovering the ruins of an ancient civilisation and a few ooze based monsters you’ll need to upgrade your arsenal. Every new plant, shroom, and substance you come across can be scanned for more information, and the more you scan the more abilities you can unlock to make exploring easier. When you clear away the slime, though, you’re left in a paradise of bright colours and bizarre fungus. The dark and desolate Gunk infected world feels oppressive and so alien at first. But the real pull is getting to explore more of this mysterious planet.Īlmost immediately you’ll be hit with how atmospheric the world around you is in The Gunk. Maybe you need to climb a vine or create a mushroom staircase. Sometimes you’ll need to jump from platform to platform. The gameplay of The Gunk is relatively simple, and involves you going from area to area cleaning up the titular grime and gathering materials. Upon scanning the puddle Becks discovers it contains a ton of energy, and thus begins an adventure that could end the duo’s money problems for good. After cleaning up some of the disgusting ooze with Rani’s vacuum, the area suddenly bursts alive with beautiful plant life and a pool of liquid appears. When down on their luck space explorers Rani and Becks land on a boring looking planet, they soon discover a mysterious substance they name Gunk and decide to investigate further. Many a Game of the Year list is getting a last minute shake up, and with The Gunk just around the corner, the winter gaming isn’t stopping any time soon.
